Did you try the "find" command on that partition to make sure that you've 
cleaned up all big log files.
for example:

find /var -size +700000c

This command will list all files bigger than 700000 Bytes in var directory. 
Finding the appropriate number
of bytes for your search is up to you.

Yes, the /var partition is giving me headaches ... but I believe I know the 
culprit. We use OSI PI for data archiving, but one collection group associated 
with a heavily loaded CP is always going offline. This results in monstrous log 
files, especially /var/adm/utmp* and wtmp*. Until I can shed some load on the 
CP, the only thing I've found to do is /dev/null those files, and restart PI. 
This has worked well enough in the past, but lately the /var partition is FULL 
and even rebooting the 51B after clearing out these log files doesn't help.
